  In 1997, the World Health Organization sponsored the development of the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) to address the need for a reliable, culturally adaptable, valid screening test for problematic or risky substance use. Further details on the ASSIST can be obtained here.

  Because internationally the ASSIST is becoming one of the dominant screening tests, there is an urgent need to train key trainers who can then conduct further training and capacity building within their own countries using the ASSIST as the centrepiece of a public health intervention in health care and social service delivery systems.

  The ASSIST has also been found to be useful for a wide range of health and general welfare workers. It can be used by anyone who regularly comes into contact with people who use psychoactive substances. This includes community health workers, mental health workers, nurses, social workers, physicians, general practitioners, psychologists, health educators, youth workers, indigenous workers, psychiatrists, obstetricians, midwives, counsellors and correctional service officers.

  Health professionals and organizations who are involved in providing treatment and health care to people who are/may be at risk of harm due to psychoactive substance use should take this course.
